Description

37 and 39 High Street in Dalkeith is a three-storey, two-bay gabled tenement building designed by Charles Henry Greig in 1906. The structure is built from cream sandstone rubble with red sandstone ashlar dressings, while the south elevation is harled and rendered. It features a polished granite base course, a lintel course at the first floor, and a cill course at the second floor. There are moulded lozenge details on both sides of the first floor, with a narrow band course above.

On the east elevation facing High Street, the entrance to the house at No 39 is located in a slightly recessed narrow bay to the right, complete with a six-pane fanlight. There are windows on both the first and second floors above this entrance. The broad main bay has rounded corners and a modern shop front at No 37, which is situated below an original timber boarded frieze and a consoled cornice. Above the shop front, there is a recessed round-arched panel with a cavetto surround over a two-storey canted oriel window, and an ashlar apron between the windows, topped by a cornice and a piended slate roof at the second floor.

The south elevation features two keystoned bull's-eye windows at the first and second floors to the right, with irregular fenestration and varied glazing in the remaining bays.

The north elevation is adjoined to a slightly advanced block at No 41 High Street. The building includes plate glass glazing in the casement windows, with an apex detail, coped skews, and mannered ashlar panelled skew blocks with moulded detail on the east gable. The right bay has a flat roof, and there is a harled, tapered wallhead stack with a neck band to the right on the south side.
